What are the best plugins for startup websites?

 

Let’s talk plugins.

There’s loads out there. Some of them are good, and others … not so good. 

But you gotta have them if you want that killer start-up website. The question is – where do you begin?

Luckily for you, you’ve come to the right place! We’re the experts when it comes to building websites. Here are the best plugins that we use every day for startup websites 

 

What is a plugin?

Feeling a little sheepish because you’ve never heard of a plugin before? Don’t be – we’re here to break it down for you.

A plugin is a piece of software that contains a group of functions. This plugin can then be installed into your WordPress website to add new features to your site. Essentially, plugins make it easier for you to customise your website without knowing a single line of code. 

So forget spending years at computing school. Download these plugins to create your awesome startup website!

 

 

Yoast SEO

Yoast SEO is the mother of all plugins. Not only does it show you what is needed for good SEO, but it also ensures that your articles are readable. 

Not everyone is an amazing reader and writer like you. It’s so important to make sure your writing is both exciting and relatively easy to read. Yoast SEO not only points out where you can improve, but how. 

It will also give you a preview of how your website will be listed in a search engine, so you can snip and change your title, URL, and meta description.  

More importantly, Yoast SEO helps you optimize your website with keywords that help Google find your website. The process is called SEO – or Search Engine Optimisation. And it’s a pretty big deal if you want to rank highly on Google.
